Did you ever find that you’re strolling along thinking I look pretty good today when BOOM! you hit a lamppost?
Or you’re cooking up a storm for a lot of guests feeling extra-organized when SLICE! the knife cuts your finger?
I found that channelling the thinking to “thank you Hashem for…” literally protects me from that,any one found the same?
Sometimes that happens to me too, yes. Then I find myself shocked back into remembering that, “Right, Hashem controls everything. Sorry about that. Thanks Hashem.” Sometimes, when I find myself getting haughty about something I quickly realize, and thank Hashem for giving me what I have, and then stay a little bit nervous for a couple of minutes looking out for poles and sharp knives.
You’re not alone. I guess it’s the last avenue where Hashem feels He can still in a sense hit us with a bolt of lightning right after we do something wrong. Personally, I feel pretty cool when something like that happens. Like I’m good enough that He feels like He can communicate so clearly to me in this way 🙂
Then again, if I wasn’t busy believing that I’m the one who creates good for myself, then He wouldn’t have needed to shock me back, so it’s all relative!
Thanks! And anytime! (that is, anytime I have something to say)
i love those times when i gotta stop and think……. they give me a chance to appreciate.
